how often do you stitch?

Post by skimhumboldt? »

Just curious, how often do you stitch/how often do you complete a bag? This is directed to everybody but i would really like to hear from some of the more well known stitchers: mosher, peng, abshire, mirken, toby ect.

Probably one a week, I don't like stitching as much as playing.

It really depends on how much other stuff is going on in my life.

I vary between 2-3 per week and 1 every couple weeks.

Right now I am at about a bag a week pace, which is far below demand unfortunately.

I usually complete a bag in a day, 4-5 hours if I'm really dedicated to it. But seeing that I have little time to do anything concerning footbag, about 2-3 days or even half a week's time.

Usually between 2-4 hours, sometimes it takes me a few days because I'll just stitch on a pent here and there.

Over the summer, I was averaging about 1 a day at one point. That got old quick.

Now I'm not stitching much at all. I've only made one 32 since Kickass weekend and I don't plan on making any more anytime soon. I'm taking a nice long sabatical from stitching right now and taking no orders. I don't know when I'll start up again. I just have too much on my plate and my time off, I don't want to spend stitching.

1-2 a week most of the time.

in the summer, i was pumping out 2 a day, with the weekends off.

i always go to two a day mode about a week before i attend a tourney.

wooo!!! i hate not being able to stitch at least every other day, but sometimes i just cant force myself to actually do anything.

if I can bring myself to prep a bag then usually I'll finish it fairly quick (within a day or two) but I sometimes find it hard to get started... :oops:

sometimes its 2 a day. sometimes its 2 a week. i think the last bag i stitched was 2 weeks ago. it all depends on my mood and if im excited about who its going to. the one im making now, the guy calls it hackey sack... so i guess im just sad it wont live up to its full potential and he will probably foot scrape it and all the bad things. i should finish it though.

Well I have had a big order and I did 25 in 18 days. but it works out like this. 10 days cutting and then 8 days stitchin. so I stitched about 4 bags a day for the last week. but the real answer is about 2-3 per day

I try to stitch everyday. The most I have made is two complete in a day (32's) and then started a 3rd. It will take me about 4 hours to complete a bag, so I am not always in the mood to stitch. But lately I have learned a few new techniques (like gather after the hexes are attached) that make the bag nicer, so I am eager to stitch and am hoping to make a new one every other day.
